ritTPAGO, Pee. 21 With rain . or snow
predicted officially for the entire winter
wheat country east of the Hockles fear
of drouth disappeared today and the mar
ket weakened. The cloao was easy at a
net decline of H'llHo to Ti'alc. The end of
trading left corn hro lower to a shade
higher; oats 1-ltio down to Hli'.io up and
provisions at 27'o to 47V4c advance.
Wheat closed at almost bottom prices
of the session. The market was fully as
depressed as It had been buoyant the pre
ceding day. A downfall of moisture that
reached eastward Into central Kansas
made even the hardleut bulls lose enthusi
asm. According to the government forecast,
the damp area was to be widely extended
within thirty-six hours, so that no part
of the fall sown crop would be without
some benefit. I-arife quantities of wheat
bought here yesterday by the Southwest
were sold out today because of a belief
there T?oult be a total breakup of the
drouth. Furthermore no demand existed
for cash wheat today. Primary receipts
were liberal, and another flour mill at
Duluth hut down, leaving only one small
concern there running. Foreign news, too,
was bearish. May after ranging between
HiStic, closed c off at 9nVi'-Hc
In corn the forecast of unsettled weather
was thought to mean lessened sales by
the country, but this had an offset in the
light cash demand. May fluctuated from
c to 47fj47c. and closed at the first
namea price, a shade tinder last night.
No. 3 yellow finished at 4WaH7c.
There wu little selling pressure on oats.
May varied between M7t,iS4c and 84lVfrfl4-"H1o,
with last sales at 34c, the same as last

Directors Governi Market.
BUSINESS IN LIGHTER VOLUME
Dividend Increases lr l.ehlata Valley
and kf Several Industrial and
Financial Corporations
C'loae I'naetlled.
NEW YORK. Dec. 21. The course of
todav s stock market was governed largely
by the meetings of the Lehigh Valley and
Reading directors. In the case of the
former much surprise was manifested when
the announcement was made In the early
afternoon that common shares had been
placed on a 10 tier cent basis. The news
whs followed by an advanc e in the stock
to ivm4. a full point below Its high price
of the previous day. This was followed by
profit taking In lehlch Valley and other
stocks and the entire list reacted and re
lapsed Inio Its dullness of the early ses
sion. The market was mainly Irregular. Busi
ness was In lighter volume than on the two
preceding days, and while the demand for
bonds was again broad, these issues
allowed less strength, numerous recessions
from the high prices of yesterday being
recorded.
In addition to the Increased dividend of
Lehigh Valley, other dividend Increases
were announced by several Industrial and
financial corporations. Regular dlvldenos
were declared by a number of the Vander
bllt lines. Final transactions were generally
below the best of the day and the tone at
Its close was unsettled.
The market for foreign exchange was
weaker and local money conditions Were
easier. On tthe present showing of the
weekly money movement the local banks
and Institutions are likely to make a
further Increase In their holdings. Lon
don s operations here today were very
light and the demand for Americans In the
Irfindon market was almost negligible. The
outflow of goli from the Rank of ICngland
was continued today, fl.OOrt.oiO being wlth
dtnwn for shipment to Egypt.
Gross sales of bonds, par value. $3,125.0110.
United Stales londs were unchanged.

CATTLE Receipts of cattle this morning
footed up 124 cars, making the week s total
12,h00 head, as against 18.000 head last week
and 7,700 head a year ago. The receipts,
as wa the case yesterday, consisted
latgely of warmed up beeves, with a good
proportion of butcher stock. The supply
of feeders Was not very large. The market
as a whole did not show much change.
Beef steers proved to be In right good
demand and the market on such cattle as
found favor in buyers' eyes was active
and strong to 10c higher. Good killers sold
around $il.26. The bulk of the receipts
changed hand in fair season.
Cows and heifers and for that matter all
kinds of butchers' stock was not very
active, while the market remained about
steady with yesterday.
The supply of stock cattle and feeders
was far from large and as there was some
little inquiry the market remained in a
good healthy condition, with prices steady
to strong as compared with yesterday.

HOGS I'nevenness was a prominent
characteristic of the market today, the
Haine as externa- and the day before,
lioits of the Haino weights sold at a wide
range of prices depending upon quality,
and just how they happened to strike a
buyer's fancy, as well as upon the time
of day when they were sold. In a general
way the market might he quoted lc higher
than yeaterday. There were active and
strong spots as well as dull and weak
spots, but still the hogs sold quite freely,
ao thai the ar lolk of the receipt a chamt-il
hsnds In verv good sr;ton. As showing
the iinevenness of the market It mluht be
ftated that while the prm ral market waa
, tuoted l"c higher It ai po.lllo to point
out sales thnt loitkcd oni 5c higher, while
others were a big l.v higher.
Heavy hogs sold lnrivlv at $7..'aaj7.V.;
87.50 being the popular prh e. A few rough
heavies sold under $7..'. Mio,l nnd medium
weights sold largelv at $;..VVi7.'a). while
the light nnd butcher v. eights brought
mostly $7 175.17 70. with pilme losd scIiIhk

SilEK Today s receipts included be
sides dally shipments about ten cars that
were driven In, so that the total supply
was quite liberal for tills Heanon of the
year. More than that the receipts con
futed almost entirely of killers, there be
ing few If any feeders included. The mar
ket opened In pretty fair shape, with de
sirable fat sheep and lambs commanding
fully Bteady prices, with some sales, if any
thing, looking higher. It settled down,
however, idto a practically steady market
where the bulk of the more deMrahle of the
offerings changed hands. The trade was
not especially active, though farilv so, but
It became apparent toward the last that
buyers' requirements were not very urgent
or very large with the result that the mar
ket closed pretty dull and weak.
Good western fed tnuibs sold up as high
Ss $x 26. with the heavier and less desirable
inds from that price down. Good year
lings brought $...00, and a small hunch of
good western wethers $4.15. A double of
good ewes reached $3.90.
As noted above there were no feeders of
any consequence In sight and the feeling
on that kind of stock continues firm,
the same as It has been everv day.
